PATENTED NONSTICK CONSTRUCTIONUnlike most nonstick cookware, which relies on a nonstick coating, Scanpan′s Green Tek nonstick cooking surface is created by firing a ceramic-titanium compound into the pan at 36,000°F and twice the speed of sound. The ceramic-titanium particles briefly liquefy and permanently anchor themselves to the pan. A specially formulated nonstick compound is then embedded in the surface, ensuring a lifetime of use without peeling or interacting with food.

I have had my Scan Pan Pro skillets now for almost 3 years and they are the best non-stick pans ever! Not to mention this is the longest that I have ever owned a non-stick pan (fussy me, I always threw away my non-stick pans once they got scratched and the non-stick surface started to peel up and adversely season my food). But it's not just the fact that these pans are eco-friendly and you can use metal utensils, the best part is that you can get a nice sear on your food, and... drum roll... you can put them in the oven. Love them for my frittatas and tortilla espanols, and also for my upside down apple tart - yum

I became a non-stick hater a few years ago amidst fears of toxicity in the usual non-stick linings and their inability to hold up, in any case. Enter the scanpan and now I'm a total convert. My 12"" skillet holds and distributes heat just as well as my Calphalon and All-Clad and the non-stick lining is a dream. Not only is it a total breeze to clean, but it can easily tolerate the high heat that destroys other non-stick pans. This is wonderful not just because increases the longevity of the pan, but because usually when cooking at higher temperatures you end up with a pan that needs soaking. No need with this one. Cleans just as easily after searing meat as frying an egg

What is/are the differences between the Scanpan CTX vs. professional. Which is ""Better""

A shopper on Nov 24, 2011

Best Answer:Although it is hard to say which is better, because that is simply a matter of preference, I have listed some differences for you below:*The Professional series is made of 100% recycled Pressure Cast Aluminum, where as the CTX is made of a Multi-clad 5-layer construction: 100% Stainless Steel & Aluminum.*The lid of the Professional series is made completely of satin-polished stainless steel, whereas the CTX line lid has a tempered glass center.When it comes down to it, these lines are very similar and which is better for the customer typically depends on wether they prefer a stainless or nonstick exterior
